AD FOR LASER DECOMPRESSION TREATMENT FOR BACKPAIN

The ad in the “Recommended Reading” section popped up on my FB page, because I do click on bio-medical related subjects (surprise, surprise).  I know a lot of my blog is about the warnings of going too far with technology and sacrificing human freedoms for convenience that ultimately leads to being less than human.  So to balance all the ethics of doom and red flag waving, I thought I would share a simple ad for people who suffer chronic back pain.

The advertisement is for the Coquitlam area (Vancouver, Canada).  It claims to provide a drug free treatment for people with chronic back pain and sciatica.  The treatment is described in the ad as non-surgical spinal decompression, paired with a deep tissue cold laser treatment.

I am not a medical doctor.  I have a degree which involves engaging medical ethics, maintaining an interest in new technologies, and keeping the human side of the equation in its top position.  In sharing this ad, I am not making any recommendations for the treatment offered.  I have not evaluated the technology or the claims made in the advertisement.  It just popped up and I’m reposting it here.  There are drug free therapies out there, and this *may* be one. That’s it.

There is a huge positive side to technology when properly serving the telos of humanity.
